AI will deliberately tamper with your online gameplay as you scramble for more in-game items to win. Proposed in which an AI is used to analyze the socioeconomic status of each game player and allow the game to take “best profit strategy” for individual players. That way is to consistently tamper the player’s game experience “away from the player’s desired result” and accelerate waste in the game by causing unequal results. The same AI will manipulate your state of mind (social engineering) at every step of your game to guide … Read more

#MondayBlues – The Wednesday Edition: So how do you start off your week? There is nothing better than a great breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. As we progressed the week I noticed how differently we eat on weekdays and weekends. The best feeling as the day is about to start, a simple breakfast. I feel recharged, letting the old day (week) behind, ready to take on the most important tasks. How about you? Take a break. Enjoy the coffee (or tea) and your breakfast.

>>When Falcon Heavy lifts off, it will be the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two. With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb)—a mass greater than a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel–Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy, at one-third the cost. Falcon Heavy draws upon the proven heritage and reliability of Falcon 9.

Its first stage is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately eighteen 747 aircraft. Only the Saturn V moon rocket, last flown in 1973, delivered more payload to orbit. Falcon Heavy was designed from the outset to carry humans into space and restores the possibility of flying missions with crew to the Moon or Mars.<<
